Illinois State’s Coach Spack 👏👏

It seems to me I have read over the years that the overwhelming choice on this board for the state championship games is ISU. I remember people saying they preferred ISU over U of I and the same was true when it was held in DeKalb. I would prefer ISU as well as it seems to be a more central location in the state. Plus, the stadium is great and it seems like a better atmosphere than the other two locations.

As far as the drive goes, I think a 2 hour drive isn't too much to ask. And what about the people who would have to travel much farther than 2 hours if the location was DeKalb? I just don't recall a bunch of people here complaining about driving to ISU.

One thing I do know. As men age they think about long drives in a different way. One of the considerations is: how long do I go and where do I get off when I have to go pee pee? LOL!!

The accommodations for some of the teams are some of the worse they've been in all year. Most high schools give better places to get ready.

Sometimes private schools are gifted donations but they have to be used in certain ways. I.e. Some old rich alumn
dies and leaves a big check but it's for a specific purpose.

Or maybe the upkeep on the old facility was a lot and it just makes sense to build new?

Could be several explanations.

Edit -
Looks like they are undergoing a large capital project that's touching lots of areas. I suppose it (and other projects) are an investment to reverse enrollment trends - or grow tuition base. Maybe they felt facilities aren't meeting demands for the tuition.

Mac needs to do something. They’ve lost a lot of their old stomping grounds. The area schools have generally been doing well, and St Anne recently started 8 man.

I wouldn't trust that coach as far as I could throw him. He turned Rita's team into an extension of an AAU team then they all bolted leaving the program absolutely bare.

St. Laurence also axed their basketball coach after last season. That guy was doing a pretty good job. They replaced him with his assistant, the ex Rita coach.

Coach Russell and the Vikings just knocked off undefeated HF at the Team Rose Shootout and Mike O'Brien has them ranked #7....

Maybe they know what they're doing at StL?
